But I also ran into problems with getting the investor to be recognized as part of the crew. Dropped in here and saw the development DLL, so I saved and exited KSP - put the DLL in place and restarted the game. It would now recognize the investor as crew, but I never got the waypoints and driving to the specified locations didn't work either. So I went back to the Space Center and blammo -- the investor and my pilot both disappeared from my tour car I ended up using Alt-F12 to complete the contract, but I wasn't offered any construction contracts. I went ahead and deleted the completed contract out of my persistent save in hopes of being offered the contract again in the future. Hm, I was able to complete this one using a blinged out (I put expensive stuff on it) rover worth over a million funds and used an external command chair to seat the investor kerbal (the casino one). However, while it said to look in mission control for the construction contract, I haven't seen it yet. I wonder if seating the investor kerbal in a command chair broke it somehow. @nightingale Do you know when I should be seeing the construction contract? I haven't seen it yet.

nightingale Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Do you have a "free" slot for a 3-star contract? If there's a bunch of "Explore Duna" type of contracts taking up those slots, it may not be able to show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjjames Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Well, atm, theres one three star contract that is active (scientific survey of a class D asteroid) and theres two 'three star' contracts currently available (plus a bunch of two and one star contracts), one for exploration of Eve (non-expiring) and one for an orbital station around minmus. Edit: Got it after declining a bunch of three star contracts. Edited December 30, 2015 by smjjames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be another mod interferring, or just KSP being weird - wouldn't be the first time. I don't suppose anyone has the appropriate completed contract snippet I can drop into my persistent save so I can trigger the construction contract?

smjjames Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 More likely it's just other mods competing for the same slot or the contract was behind a queque of contracts which had to clear out first. Don't know how KSP generates the contracts like they are chosen with a random roll or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcortez Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Just thought of a contract idea, if there isn't already one for it -- a Space Camp -- not sure how exactly to pull this off, but it would be cool to have a contract where you have to cart up a good number of tourists to the space camp, and then at the end of 30 days -- you actually get a new crew member out of it. Was looking at the Civilian Population mod, which has the ability to force feed civilians Sci-Fi movies (or something similiar) and you get recruit-able crew out of it. Edit: Possibly use USI's Academy Module as part of the contract... Edited December 30, 2015 by mcortez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjjames Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) @nightingale Uh, I picked up a contract to have tourists visit an asteroid, but the contract seems to have insta-failed for some reason. I cheated the lost rep back in though since it failed before I even launched. I see in the output log something about facility not being met, which caused it to auto-fail. [INFO] ContractConfigurator.FacilityRequirement: Contract Tourism_Asteroid: requirement Facility was not met. Seems to have happened either when I left the mission control window or went into the tracking station window.

kcs123 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I'm not sure if it is related to this contract pack or something else, but I encountered strange bug. I have reached orbit in small rocket with Bill on board. I gone to EVA, to get report in space, to get some science. After returning Bill to craft, he was turned into tourist. I no longer can control rocket since there is no control probes on craft, only Bill is on board. Here is output log from session. I got a bunch of mods installed, list of all installed mods can be found in thread linked in my signature. Here is picture describing issue.

Haven't expirienced that kind of behaviour before. Anyway, I have loaded backed up saved game and repeated whole flight without issue. What makes you think that USI-LS mod is to blame for this ? Have someone reported/expirienced this elsewhere ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightingale Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 @kcs123 - definitely looks like USI-LS, I'd post the log and this exception over there: InvalidOperationException: Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute. at System.Collections.Generic.List`1+Enumerator[LifeSupport.VesselSupplyStatus].VerifyState () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at System.Collections.Generic.List`1+Enumerator[LifeSupport.VesselSupplyStatus].MoveNext () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at LifeSupport.LifeSupportMonitor.CleanupEmptyVessels () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at LifeSupport.LifeSupportMonitor.FixedUpdate () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 USI-LS turns crew into tourists when they run out of food - that why it fits the issue you're having.

kcs123 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Thanks, probably it can be avoided with enough supplies, although this is early in career where supplies were not researched yet. Flight was supoused to be one maned orbit and re-entry to KSP without need for supply for that short period of time. Anyway, good to know what I need to pay attention for, to avoid it. Thanks for forwarding to USI-LS thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smjjames Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 @nightingale Could you add support for the Surface Mounted Lights mod? Because those use the 'surface light' module rather than the 'light' module and I'd like to have those count for the Space Casino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you're really feeling up for it, you can always put a Module Manager patch together for me and submit a pull request. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smjjames Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) *bump* Just mentioning that I've been getting 'take tourists to visit asteroid' contracts before I even do the starter contract. No idea if strategia has anything to do with it, probably not. edit: Okay, something wierd happened after I went back to main menu briefly so that I could transfer a craft file to the save I was using, see my post on the CC thread.

I took a look at the asteroid contract, and the checks for it seemed correct at a glance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really shouldn't be Strategia related, but anything's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maculator Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Great contract pack. It's adds some sense to the tourism contracts. Now that I have my hotel up and running I can finally start making some cash! Spoiler Its an old space monorail wagon: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
